The winter bird count in Dudhwa forest in Uttar Pradesh concluded Sunday, with claims of at least four new avian species being found there.
Field director of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR) Ramesh Kumar Pandey told PTI that "the counting teams sighted for the first time in Dudhwa Maroon Oriole, Eurasian Sparrowhawk and two other new birds."
He added that "as per suggestions from the experts, next counting of birds would be conducted in summer so as to make a comprehensive scientific study of birds, their nature and behaviour and Dudhwa ecology."
The experts were surprised to find some summer season migratory birds such as Black Bittern and Paradise Flycatcher staying in Dudhwa even in winter, which they described as an "very interesting feature."
